Jemima Goldsmith, the former wife of ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, on Friday made a public appeal to X owner Elon Musk, claiming that her posts about Khan’s situation are being restricted on the platform.

Goldsmith stated that her updates regarding Khan’s treatment by Pakistani authorities and his ongoing legal struggles do not reach the public, urging Musk to address what she described as “visibility filtering" on her account.

In her post on X, she highlighted that her sons have been barred from visiting their father, who she says has been “held unlawfully" in solitary confinement for 22 months. She emphasized that X is now the “only place left" to inform the world that the PTI leader is a “political prisoner without basic human rights."

Yet, she claimed that the reach of her posts, both within Pakistan and internationally, has been “throttled to almost zero."

“You promised free speech, not ‘speech but no one hears it’," she wrote.

Goldsmith has previously accused Pakistani authorities of preventing her sons from communicating with their father and even threatening them with arrest if they try to visit the country.

Concerns about Khan’s treatment were reiterated recently by his sister, Aleema Khan. Speaking outside Adiala Jail on Wednesday, she said, “We have been coming here for the last 8 months. We come here and sit every Tuesday. We are not allowed to meet Imran Khan. They are torturing him. He has been kept in illegal isolation. They should end this torture against Imran Khan."

Her remarks highlighted the family’s growing worry over Khan’s condition and the ongoing restrictions on access to him.

The statements come amid continuing uncertainty over Khan’s health and mounting pressure from his family and PTI supporters seeking evidence of his condition.

In July last year, a panel of UN experts criticised Pakistan for arbitrarily detaining Khan in violation of international law, asserting that his imprisonment appeared intended to prevent him from running for political office.
